Hi, I recently swapped graphics cards on my HP Pavilion 500-199 and it will not boot. While I swapped the graphics card with an XFX Radeon HD 6870, I also changed the PSU for a EVGA 500W PSU. When i press the power button, the fans would spin, but there would be no display on the monitor. I tried swapping back to the old graphics card and PSU, but nothing would appear on the screen. I reconnected all cables, tried clearing the cmos, and switched the display cable, but nothing would work. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
 
Solution
Can you try connecting to the MOBO and getting into the BIOS? Make sure the display settings are set so it will use the graphics card.

I took the graphics card out and connected the display cable to the mobo. What display settings do i have to set in order to use the graphics card because once i put the graphics card back in, the fans would spin and no display on screen would occur again.
